It is my daily and personal business hub.
This platform is my day to day within my profession because with it it is easier for me to consult potential clients and in turn have contacts scheduled where I can easily add scheduled appointments and link it to the calendar. It also makes it easier for me to be able to manage tasks with coworkers and share them within Microsoft Teams without having to manually pass the information since everything is linked to Outlook.Outlook also allows me to carry my documents without the need to use USB flash drives to be able to manage documents and files, thanks to the fact that it can be directly connected to Office I can view and edit documents in any browser or start a session on any Windows desktop to be able to access my documents and files, making my job much easier. Another thing is that I can share these documents with clients and work team without having to download the document, it is enough to give access to the different interested people so that these people can see both documents and shared files.That is why Outlook is my main work tool because it is not only a simple email, but it is also my calendar, office space, mail, space for team conversation and much more. Therefore, this platform is part of my routine both for my daily activities within my company and for working collaboratively with my team, such as reading emails, checking agents and communicating with clients.
Pros
I like that it's not just based on a simple email service, but that it's also a workspace where I can have linked calendars, tasks, contacts, storage, and even documents. This has helped me keep everything in sync without having to go to other platforms to do the same thing, instead I can do everything from the same Outlook account. So, if I need to have a quick note taking with the To Do application on my smartphone, I can have my notes at all times and synchronize it with my Outlook account and be able to view my notes in Windows or any browser where I am logged in, the same goes for my calendar and all linked apps.The free storage has been pretty accurate with regard to the amount of space I need, I currently have over 5K of emails and a large number of attachments, added to documents that I have in Office plus files uploaded to Drive, still I have not managed to reach the 15GB that Outlook offers me, so I consider it to be a fair amount. The plans are not bad at all, apart from giving a large amount of storage it also offers a premium for Office of the web application and other Microsoft 365 tools, this being quite useful because I do not have to pay separately for each Microsoft application that is linked to Outlook.
Cons
Since Hotmail.com upgraded to Outlook years ago, there hasn't been an improvement in performance in any of the services that this platform offers, so since the makeover, everything loads very slowly. I was quite disappointed that this hasn't improved because before everything loaded quickly but now everything is a very slow process, sometimes I click to open an email and it takes a long time to view the content.The way this platform is designed is a bit confusing and it's hard to get to specific tools, the design should be improved a bit to be simpler and not have a bunch of tools on display where I mostly get lost. So, it wouldn't hurt to have a polished interface to make it much easier to navigate, especially if you're trying to connect all the applications in the same workspace and it's not the email that appears but also other applications that Outlook has.

Okay daily mail client for work
Pros
I loved the how simple it is to sort everything to folders and search. I could find anything really quickly without any hassle, much better than Gmail.
Cons
Outlook often got laggy or even crashed on me in the middle of writing a mail.

Best Choise for Email Management and Productivity
Microsoft Outlook Kind of must-have for e-mail management. Its integration with other Microsoft Office applications make it a valuable tool for managing all aspects of work in one place.
Pros
Microsoft Outlook to be a powerful tool for managing emails, calendar, and tasks. The platform's integration with other Microsoft Office applications, such as Word and Excel, makes it easy to manage all aspects of my work in one place. The ability to create and manage email rules, as well as the built-in spam filters, has also helped me keep my inbox organized and free of clutter.
Cons
Its may cause experience stability issues, including crashes and slow performance, which can be frustrating. Additionally, the platform's search functionality can be limited, making it difficult for users to find specific emails or information.

Outlook is the best email option
Overall I am very happy with Outlook and get a lot of satisfaction from using it.
Pros
I like how in Outlook all my content comes together. I can easily invite people to meetings online and I can easily share files through onedrive and sharepoint.
Cons
The main issue is the email composition. It could have smarter features like predictive text that is found on Gmail and it could have better search functionality.
